FORTY DROWNED IN WRECK OE STEAMER LONDON, Jan. 18. Forty mom bora of the crow of tho steamer Wln elow, It was learned today, porlHhed when that vessol was battered to pieces hi n torrlflo storm off Potor Head rocks near tho coast of Scot land. Pour sullors clung to a por tion of tho wrockugo and finally wero roacuod. mfcre dead than nllvo. This Jh tho vessel which was sighted in dlstresH off tho coast of Sootland yea-j torday, but whoso ldontlty at thnt time could not be learned, WANTEDLIVE ONES I IN AN article describing the clovolopmcnot nml opportu nities of a Rogue river valley town appearing in the New Year's issue of The Mail Tribune oeeurred tho state ment that the plneo furnished an opportunity for a live and progressive banker. Inasmuch as tho town in question already had a imnic, the article brought a protest from the banker, who stated that the bank was an occasional advertiser in The Mail Tribune, that officers of the bank were also advertisers, so an explanation was desired, as the article seemed to show an unfriendly attitude on the parr ot the paper. Nothing is further from the fact. Tho article in ques tion was furnished by the commercial club of tho city affected. Tho club's officials stated that the bank in ques tion had refused to join the commercial club or subscribe to the publicity fund, or help the community in its efforts to develop, hence there really existed an opportunity for a live and progressive bank. It seemed to The Mail Tribune that tho point was well taken. It made no difference whether or not those affect ed were patrons of. this paper. Jt regards all such imper sonally. It is tire principle, at stake. Any bank or banker, or' for that matter any business man or property owner, who refuses to help support the local commercial club, winch represents the organized effort of tho community to upbuild and develop towi) and country, cannot be called progressive. Commercial clubs and members of commercial clubs will do well to follow the example of tho particular com mercial club above mentioned, and advertise for new insti tutions when existing ones refuse cooperation. Those who refuse to help in upbuilding work are not entitled to share in the resultant prosperity. There is no reason why com mercial clubs or their members should assist or patroni.o those who refuse cooperation although amply able to financially. THE REALTY f OOS BAY panel's seem V4 much Iippjiiisf vnrk tins Iipimi stniinoil nn tlio nrn- .iceted raeifie Great n cstern railway from .Lhigene to Marshfield as because the said announcement "blackened the eye of Marsht'icld by preventing real estate deals from being made." "We also read in the columns of the Marshfield papers that assaults were threatened upon the person of Engineer Sumner by real estate speculators because the engineer announced that he had been ordered to cease work, and the announcement had caused a loss in boom valuations advanced overnight. Coos Bay, like other promising towns, is evidently cursed with the realty speculator, who, buying on margins, hopes to get rich quick through the advance in prices due to tne improvements auti enorts ot otners. ' Just as soon as there seems a prospect of a new rail road or other developer, these speculators descend like vultures upon their prey. They really do nothing to de velop or build tup a community, but succeed usually in caus ing an inflation of values harmful alike to present and future. They scare away more capital and citizens than they attract and any place is better off without them, for just as soon as the feverish boom pulse they have stiniu late"d flutters a little they are off with their unearned increment to new fields and more verdant pastures. Coos Bay need not worry over spoilt realty deals. The realty is still there, worth as much as ever. If all the real estate speculators and most of the curbstone brokers' pull out, the town will be bettered rather than injured. A year ago Medford had plenty of these fly-by-night brokers and speculators several hundred. But one by one they have "folded their tents like the Arabs and silently stolen away" and all Medford breathes a sigh of relief. The city is in better shape than ever, for those who buy property do so for investment or improvement, not for speculation profitless to the community. Our Correspondents KANES CREEK ITEMS.
